And if Thundercracker gets into TF2, he needs to reuse this G1 line: "I'll make them regret undooming themselves!"

Just to let you know, that cast iron manifolds is a Prowl quote. Check Ultimate doom if you dont believe me. But that is a great Thundercracker line.

D'oh! My bad. Thanks for the correction!

Everytime I've seen Prime and Megs fight, it's been rather even.
And then what really bugged me was how suddenly he was dropped.
The Cube is pushed in, he gags, chokes, and coughs for like three seconds, a drops dead as a doornail.
It was a bit anticlimactic.

I kind of looked at that as he received a massive overload/shock and his system just instantly starting shutting down......

...or maybe he's in a stasis lock till the next movie!

Gagging or overloading...
Doesn't matter to me. It was still just so pathetic that I actually almost felt bad for him...

All I know is that Sam better hope that Megatron never gets revived somehow. He's gonna' be soooo pissed at him!

Prime had famous lines in nearly episode in G1. Before crash landing on Earth and becoming a truck, his original Alt mode on Cybertron was walking quote machine.

*lmao* Brilliant!

While on the subject of quotes, my fave Prime quote that I can think of right now would be the episode where they help the humans rebuild a rocket pad after a decepticon attack. Then, when watching the rocket launch Optimus replies, "Impressive, for primitive rocket technology."

I just enjoy that the quote makes him sound like a smarmy ass. There needs to be a Transformers quote generator somewhere on this site.

That quote was from "Autobot Spike" which was the very first episode of Season 2. I just saw that episode recently.

You know it!!
He ain't gonna get that "pet" offer THIS time.

I share the viewpoints of many of the others. Prime was holding back because he didn't want to harm any of the humans, Megs just didn't care. If they would have been in an uninhabited area, Optimus would have handed Megs his head on a silver platter, doused with energon.

You've got a good point there. I'd forgotten about that.
Yeah, because in most of the cartoons Megatron and Prime duke it out in more uninhabited areas and Optimus doesn't have to hold back.

Then I hope they bring Megatron back and let Optimus kick his a$$ somewhere in the desert or something!

Me too!!!

Awww, I also just recently watched that episode. That was such a sad episode. Poor Spike thinking of himself as a monster as he was trapped in some giant metallic body. Oh the ethical implications!

On a side note, you should all read Frankenstien by Mary Shelley. Wonderful book. Better than what the old Hollywood movies made it out to be. I really should go buy it, actually... *dashes off to the bookstore*

I've read Frankenstien.
It was pretty good. We had to all read it as freshmen.

not bad when you consider Mary Shelly was like 17 when she wrote the story.

All that goth/emo teen angst in 1816 paid off for someone.

And apparently it was written in response to a dare, too--she, her husband, and some others sitting around discussing horror stories and daring each other to write the scariest one.

I think she wins.

That's correct.
And yes, I do believe that she won.

Can we get back to the topic?!
